    Brings to mind two old jokes:

    a. I don't remember the whole joke, :rolleyes: but the punchline was that a fellow had Roman hands and Russian fingers. :eek:

    b. How do you catch a Unique rabbit? U-nique up on it.
    How do you catch a tame rabbit? Tame way. :p

    So glad we're in the "okay to be off piste" section.:)

    Here's an article I found a link to in one of my Genealogy Facebook groups that addresses the genetic makeup of the British Isles:

    Now I don't have socks on I am looking at my feet.. I always knew I was different..I don't match any of those in the chart!!
    I guess I am a Heinz 57 which is a bit of a contrast to what the actual DNA says!

    Was there one?... this left over from yesterday...to continue, until you mentioned it I hadn't given it a thought but feet are real & I've just read there were not many Romans who made it to UK so I feel very individual as probably does Sue with her un-diagnosed feet. :D
    edit..makes that Sueses.

    Oh dear just had another look at my tootsies -without socks. Big toe needs minimal nudge but otherwise the Egyptian look in in. middle toe let me down.
